About the Cessna T210N

The Cessna T210N records about 4 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years over the type's FAA-registration exposure. Measured against a peer cohort of same-type, engine-class, and seat-range aircraft, the T210N sits at about the 40% mark, a higher accident rate than about 40% of those comparable types. Of 44 recorded accidents for the T210N, 7 were fatal.

More than 700 T210N airframes have been removed from the U.S. civil registry. Across every registry record the T210N has ever held, about 60% have been deregistered, while just over a third remain on the active registry.

More than 400 T210Ns remain on the active U.S. civil registry, the 47th-largest active fleet among Cessna's models. The T210N accounts for about 0.6% of Cessna's total active registered fleet.

Asking Prices

What sellers are asking for the Cessna T210N, across current listings, grouped by model year.
As of October 15, 2026. How we calculate this.

Years Currency Typical asking range Median
1975–1979 USD ≈ $200k – $240k ≈ $210k

These are asking prices, not sale prices. What any one aircraft asks or sells for can swing widely with airframe and engine condition, damage history, avionics, paint and interior, logbooks and service records, and plenty else a listing never shows.

Safety Analysis

Composition of NTSB accident records for this model in general-aviation operations (FAR Part 91 and 137), based on NTSB data as of May 1, 2026. It's a breakdown of recorded accidents rather than a safety rating, and types with significant non-GA operation (such as Part 135) may be under-represented.

Comparison

Within its peer cohort

Within this model's peer class (same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range), comparison of its share of recorded NTSB accidents to its share of FAA registration exposure (aircraft-years since 2008).

This is a share comparison, not flight-hours adjusted, so a model flown more per airframe than its peers will show an accident share above its exposure share even if its per-hour safety is average. Methodology →
